Pros & Cons

What we love
✓Audi Sport's first-ever plug-in hybrid RS model: 2.9L twin-turbo V6 TFSI (510 PS / 600 Nm) + 130 kW e-motor for 639 PS / 825 Nm combined — 3.6s 0–62 mph at 155 mph
✓World-first rear electromechanical torque vectoring (Dynamic Torque Control) with preloaded self-locking centre differential — active torque vectoring across all four wheels at all times, even in steady-state cornering
✓Up to 52 miles EV-only range; 11 kW AC charging (~2.5 hours with supplied Mode 3 cable); 10-second Boost function delivers full 639 PS; 87 g/km CO₂ weighted WLTP
✓Standard tech at RS 5: 14.5" MMI + 11.9" Virtual Cockpit Plus + 10.9" passenger display + head-up display + B&O 3D Sound + wireless CarPlay/Android Auto + lap timing and G-force dials
✓Sport seats plus in Fine Nappa leather (honeycomb + steel-grey stitching, semi-integrated headrests) with electric adjustment, driver memory, seat ventilation AND massage — all standard
✓Full ADAS suite from RS 5: adaptive cruise assist plus, surround-view camera, park assist plus, front AEB, intersection assist, lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic and turn assist
Considerations
✕No panoramic roof at RS 5 standard — added only on performance Vorsprung (£107,485); budget up if a sunroof matters
✕155 mph electronically limited top speed; the 177 mph raised limit is exclusive to the performance Vorsprung with RS sport exhaust
✕20" wheels only at standard RS 5; Carbon Black and Vorsprung both upgrade to 21" RS forged alloys
✕AC-only PHEV charging — no DC fast-charge port; a full recharge takes approximately 2.5 hours; plan accordingly for long journeys
